eKEAP,_» 


1. REJECTION oF Bips. Any bid which is not commensurate with the value

other cause whatsoever. 

5. Devivery oF Purcuases. Delivery of any purchases will be made only

not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold “as is” and without recourse. 
( Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and 
the Association will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy 
expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its 
judgment may thereafter sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of 
the opinion of such expert, who thereby will become responsible for such 
damage as might result were his opinion without foundation. 

Recorps. The records of the auctioneer and the Association are in all cases 
to be considered final and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by 
both buyer and seller as the value against which all claims for losses or 
damage shall lie.

parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph, or telephone, if con- 
ditions permit, will be faithfully attended to without charge of commission 
Any purchases so made will be subject to the foregoing conditions of sale, 
except that, in the event of a purchase of a lot of one or more books by or 
for a purchaser who has not through himself or his agent been present at 
the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be returned 
within ten days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be 
refunded, if the lot differs from its catalogue description. (Orders for 
execution by the Association should be given with such clearness as to 
leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be 
given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the 
lot, and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects 
of art, the bid for volume or piece should also be stated. If the one trans- 
mitting the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit must be sent 
or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given. 


These conditions of sale cannot be altered except by the 
auctioneer or by an officer of the Association

FOREWORD 


x present collection of paintings in oil and water-color of the 


contemporary American school has been consigned to the American 
Art Association by Dr. Thomas L. Bennett of 565 Park Avenue, New 
_ York, who is well known for his interest in this field and for his important 
Belching collections. 


In latter years a significant group of painters in water-color has arisen 
in America. This body of men, who have broken almost entirely with 


_ tradition, have produced works characterized by a freshness and vigor of 


i 2 


inspiration excelled in no other country in the world. ‘They themselves 


are linked only by this pioneer spirit and by the use of a common medium, 


ood 


their techniques being in fact widely different, and in a sense experimental. 
In the works of Dodge Macknight are brilliant studies of the plains and 
uplands of New England in all seasons of the year thrown off with swift 
streaks of unafraid color, whose meaning often must be guessed merely 


by the direction of the brush strokes; the migratory George Hart flies 
~ from winter to record careful impressions of Trinidad, Samoa and the sub- 


- 


i 


tropical South, suggesting rather than drawing, pictures; George Luks 1s 
represented by brilliant sketches of metropolitan life in pastel, water-color 
and oil, in which almost every square inch of the subject is forced to 
yield secrets of color; Rockwell Kent is here with his icy detachment and 
wealth of idealism, cynically expressed in mannered geometries; Frank W. 
Benson, Edward Hopper, William Zorach, Glackens and others speak in 
their own idiom to the interested layman. Historically outranking all is 


_a single example by Winslow Homer, dean of American aquarellists; The 


Cape Cod Fisherman. 

Dr. Bennett’s feeling for impressionism and its development is mani- 
fested in the oil paintings, which form the second part of the collection. 
Here are grouped Ernest Lawson, Theodore Robinson, Emil Carlsen, 
Hobart Nichols and others. Ochtman contributes a large canvas, Frosty 
Spring Morning, in a characteristic key; Childe Hassam a beautiful marine 
painted off the Isle of Shoals; Charles Demuth two paintings of flowers. 
Separate mention must be made of the remarkable exhibition painting by J. 
Francis Murphy The Wide Lane [24 x 36 inches], one of the last impor- 
tant canvases painted by the master; greatly daring in composition, it ranks 
high for its mature handling of a familiar autumn theme. The individual 
work of Arthur B. Davies, which falls into no category, appears in three 
or four oil paintings, including the noteworthy Elysian Fields, with its 


interesting inventions 1n movement.
